Gynecological cancers are cancers associated with the female reproductive system. Gynecological cancers include cancer of the cervix, ovaries and fallopian tubes, endometrium, labia and pubis. The most common gynecological cancer is cervical cancer, which is the second most common cancer in women after breast cancer. Each gynecological cancer is divided into four stages according to the FIGO classification. The National Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program is a program that addresses the issue of cervical cancer incidence. January 15 (Mimosa Day) is National Cervical Cancer Day. The goal of the research was to see how much information and knowledge women have about gynecological cancers, their prevention, about the PAP test and about the National Program for Early Detection of Cervical Cancer. The survey was conducted via Google Forms in the period from April 20, 2020 to April 30, 2022, and 149 women participated in the survey. The research was completely anonymous. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions about sociodemographic data (gender, age, education) and the opinions and knowledge of the female population about gynecological cancers. From the collected data, we can see that most of the surveyed women are knowledgeable about gynecological cancers, but they believe that women in the Republic of Croatia are generally not sufficiently informed about gynecological cancers. Also, one of the more important information is that many women did not know about the "National Program for Early Detection of Cervical Cancer" as an important program on the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. The nurse's role in caring for patients with gynecological cancers is to reduce the "difficult" images of illness and death. In order for this to be successful, it is necessary to invite women to a larger turnout for the screening, and good motivation and education of the nurse contributes to this.
